| A 19th Century Staffordshire octagonal child's plate, "B Is For Ball." Set to the center is a brown transfer which has been hand painted. The letter B is shown along with a large ball, a bat, a basket, a bowl,and the word bless in the background. The entire plate is decorated with an impressed design which is shown in picture three. This is quite a rare plate, the condition is excellent and it is large as children's plates go, 8 1/2". It dates C 1840, these plates were used as teaching aids for 19th century children, and the alphabet is one of the many subjects found on these charming children's plates. A great addition to your collection. | ||
